SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcap/pcap.h>

       pcap_snapshot(3) *p);


DESCRIPTION

       pcap_snapshot()    returns   the   snapshot   length   specified   when
       pcap_set_snaplen(3) or pcap_open_live(3) was called, for a live
       capture,  or  the  snapshot length from the capture file, for a ``save-
       file''.

       It  must  not   be   called   on   a   pcap   descriptor   created   by
       pcap_create(3)    that    has    not    yet   been   activated   by
       pcap_activate(3).


RETURN VALUE

       pcap_snapshot()  returns   the   snapshot   length   on   success   and
       PCAP_ERROR_NOT_ACTIVATED  if  called  on a capture handle that has been
       created but not activated.
